Hearns is arguably the hardest hitter to ever grace the welterweight division. His power could have penetrated Margarito's chin. Plus we all saw how Paul Williams height and boxing ability gave Tony trouble, albeit his tying up and constant throwing of punches himself helped too.
Just thought of another powerhouse at welterweight, Henry Armstrong!
Now I bet he coulda hurt Margarito.
Shows how good of fighter Margarito has become though, that we have to sit here and think up literally LEGENDS, to find someone who could stop him.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
